Chris Henry will miss Ireland's two remaining November Tests with a hamstring tear. The Ulster back row limped off with the injury in the 40-9 win over Samoa on Saturday so he's out of the games against Australia and New Zealand. Meanwhile Tommy Bowe has a bruised calf so he'll be monitored on a day to day. Shane Jennings & Luke Fitzgerlald called up. Jonathan Sexton, Paul O'Connell, Sean O'Brien and Cian Healy are all expected to be recalled to the starting 15.

Ireland are the biggest movers in the IRB world rankings after last weekends win over Samoa. Joe Schmidt's side are up two places to 6th place. Australia remain fourth while World Champions New Zealand are still top of the pile ahead of their visit to the Aviva in 2 weeks.
